EMPOVE MENT n APPLYING REFL ECTORS To ,LAMPs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 36,339, dated September2, 1862.

and'I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,making pending near the flame of a lamp (in such a manner that it can beturned at a desired angle) a section of metal or other substancesuitable for the purpose, polished or burnished on 1 one side, so as toact as a reflector and a shield to the eyes when required to protectthem from the light.

0 enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, 1' willproceed to describe its construction and operation.

, I construct the frame A, for holding the reflector, of wire or othermetal of the dimensions'suitable for the purpose and of such a form thatthe end to be attached to the lamp shall constitute or be attached to aring, as

shown by letter A, for the purpose of readily being fastened by slippingover and fitting the burner or metal socket holding the burner or otherportion of the lamp to which it may be desirable to aflix it. The bodyof the frame is bent at such an angle as to bring the reflector in suchposition to the flame of the lamp as to o'peratein the manner desired.The other end of this frame is formed into a half-circle, as shown byletter b, having two arms, 0 d, the ends of which are bent at rightangles-e f, for

insertion in corresponding holes in the sides of the reflector, allowin'g it to swing as oua? pivot.

I make the eflector letter B ofajs'eetion of' thin metal or othersubstance suitable forthe purpose, of'such dimensions and formtliaft'when suspended betweenftheermslcjd oi the frame and placed in,positioiiopposit'etheflaine of the'lamp it can bemadeto act asa-refleetor and shade to p'rotect the'eyefs -fr om,th'e light when thennpoli'shed surface isturned toward them. g h show the holes-in thesides of the reflector to receivethe ends of the framee 'f,

which, when inserted, wilt'allow'it to be turned at the required angle.3-

Letter C represents theframe and reflector, united by placing the endsof the frame'ef in the holes 9 h, and attached to'the lamp ready for.use. This combination will prove of great benefit to those usinglampswhenapplied and p I used in the mannersetforth I am aware thatstationary reflectors have been used supported byvarious devices, not

attached directly to the lamp itself, for. the

flectors to lamps, for the purpose specified.
